As an avid sports fan for over 7 decades that started when my Dad ran the Sports Service Franchise at old Al Lang Field in St. Petersburg where I watched the Yanks & the Cards play and learned about baseball and competing at a young age, playing high school football as an undersized 130 lb. sub to the last time the Gators won a Natty in any Sport, I've become tired of all the posturing over the ultimate reason, fact, outcome, whatever you wish to call it; it's all about the Benjamins, not the mere opportunity to compete and show your abilities and resolve. So, for that reason, I'm signing off for the last time. It was fun while it lasted, but I've lost the gleam in my eye when it comes to watching the majority of any sport. BTW congratulations to the MS Bulldogs last night.
Later Gators...
Once when I started a new job, they sent me to their Tampa office for a year-long orientation program. Or at least it seemed like a year. Imagine my surprise when I got back to Miami and discovered I'd only been gone five days!

He's got two good songs and they're both melancholy and lonesome: Come Monday and A Pirate Looks at 40. The rest of them are unbearably formulaic and trite. The people who follow him from city to city are some of the most vapid, useless people in the world. They all have drinking problems that they pass off as "fun" "partying" or "having a good time."If by Jimmy Buffett you mean Kenny Chesney, then yes...
Otherwise - don't let the 'fanbase' color your thinking around the content of his songs.
Do a lot of them cover the 'Salt Life'? Yes.
But - a lot of them don't.
However, I personally haven't heard any new Buffett music since the early 90's, so you could be right.
